REQUISITE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS FOR VELOPHARYNGEAL ENDOSCOPY
Physicians and speech pathologists perform velopharyngeal endoscopy, but consensus does not exist as to what constitutes a valid exam, or what knowledge and skills are needed to perform an exam. Participants will: 1) Review current Knowledge and Skills documents. 2) Discuss the knowledge and skills required to perform a valid assessment of velopharyngeal function for speech. 3) Discuss possible guidelines for professional training in the use of velopharyngeal endoscopy.

ETHICAL CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED IN THE CRANIOFACIAL POPULATION
A series of real cases summarizing ethical challenges arising in the care of patients with craniofacial diagnoses will be presented. The purpose of the session is to provoke thought and dialogue pertaining to the beliefs, values and options that present themselves in different controversial scenarios. Upon completing this session, participants will be able to name three resources to assist with advocacy, support and informed decision-making to consult during ethical challenges.

THE 5 FUNDAMENTAL LAWS OF TEAM CARE
We all know that teamwork is essential to providing optimal care to cleft-affected children. But how does a successful team really work? What makes some teams excel while others fail to thrive? What separates great teams from groups of individuals that struggle to reach their full potential? The 5 Fundamental Laws of Team Care will discuss the basic principles and strategies that are essential to building a winning cleft-craniofacial team. Understanding and applying these ideas, including The Law of Significance (Yes, It Takes a Team), The Law of Purpose (It Really is the Vision Thing), and the Law of the Helm (The Team Sinks or Sails on Leadership), will not only help your team fulfill its mission but also empower your team to achieve greatness. This session is designed for all team members and team leaders (which, on successful teams are truly one and the same). Learning and practicing these laws will enhance your capacity to unlock your potential and to function effectively as a team builder, allowing you to provide your patients with the best incomprehensive cleft and craniofacial care.

COLLECTING AND REPORTING SPEECH OUTCOME DATA: A PRACTICAL APPROACH
This session includes practical suggestions for collection and reporting of speech outcomes data at cleft palate centers, based on the experience of the Americleft SLPs. We will address the challenges faced by team SLPs and offer solutions including utilization of a standard speech sample, speech recording and equipment suggestions, and HIPAA-compliant procedures. Outcome variables and data analysis strategies will be discussed. The target audience is team SLPs and surgeons.

ORTHODONTIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CLEFT PALATE
Orthodontists and surgeons have typically focused on the maxillary canine to determine timing of bone grafts. At the end of this session, attendees will be able to discuss advantages of using the mandibular canine over the maxillary to assess timing of bone grafts, positioning of the pre-maxilla prior to bone grafting in the patient with bilateral cleft, and expeditious completion of surgical and orthodontic procedures thereby reducing treatment time in the patient with craniofacial anomaly.

SEQUENTIAL STEPS IN TREATMENT OF THE CLEFT NASAL DEFORMITY FROM BIRTH THROUGH MATURITY
Under ideal circumstances, the combination of NAM and a carefully performed primary nasal repair would preclude the need for further nasal surgery. In some cases, this may be true. However, in most cases, some attention to the nose will be necessary at a later time, for either cosmetic or functional reasons. Continuing growth and development provides changes, some of which cannot be accounted for during infancy or early childhood. Severity of the nasal deformity does occur along a spectrum; the approach provided herein is designed to employ the most sound and effective techniques at the appropriate times and to avoid procedures that would not provide significant benefits or that would compromise later definitive treatments.
